So far this season things have not gone as they were planned, The Predators goaltending has not been acceptable at all, they've given up 70 goals against in 21 games and posting a 9-10-2 record in that stretch. The predators just need better goaltending, they've put up 64 goals in 21 games which is just above 3 goals for per game, but yet they still have a negative record, and its not all the goalies fault. Most game the netminders played they've faced 30-40 shots every game. Still though, 3 goals on 27 shots and 4 goals on 33 shots is not acceptable if you expect to win games. the preds are hoping that the Team can step up and player better defense while keeping their offense rolling " where playing great out their,we just got to work on our defensive game" said Chris Phillips.
Nashville is suppose to be having a team meeting before their next game which is against the St.Louis Blues. Hopefully after the meeting it will shape them up and they can come out strong again like they have did in the past
all eyes are on netminder Corey Crawford because were not lacking up front just on the back end and hes the key reason why , Hes got to step up for us to move forward.
The preds are also keeping an eye on Russian defender Andrei Markov who just came back from an injury but is looking well. Markov has tallied 10 points in 16 games with 3 goals and 7 assists. " I feel great out their and I hope it stays that way" said Andrei Markov
Nashville is looking to take a step forward and with Markov back and if Crawford steps up, we will be up their in no time.
Nashville's penalty kill is also really bad so far this real, 21 games into the season and out penalty kill percentage 74.67 % which is killing us and if where going to step up this is going to have to improve gigantically. And the Nashville Predators feel that the penalty kill will improve and Crawford will step up and be the goalie he was last year.
